Celine Dion fans protest outside Rolling Stone office after she was snubbed from the list of greatest singers

Hell hath no fury like a Celine Dion fan scorned.

A group of people gathered outside of the Rolling Stone office in New York City on Friday to protest the Quebec singer’s omission from the publication’s recent list of the greatest singers of all-time.

The protesters, who so far have remained peaceful, held colourful placards with messages like “Justice for Celine” and “Celine is #1.”

“You missed the best singer in the world on your list,” one protester told a Rolling Stone reporter.

“We hope that Rolling Stone will admit that they made a mistake,” another protester said.

The approximately 15 protesters are part of a fan club called The Red Heads that made the trek to New York all the way from Montreal, according to Variety.

Rolling Stone has not officially released a statement in response to the protesters, but did share a sassy tweet.

The longtime music magazine released its updated ranking of “The 200 Greatest Singers of All Time” on Jan. 1. The list, topped by Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston and Sam Cooke, generated plenty of controversy on social media. Among those snubbed include Janet Jackson, Cher, Madonna, Bruno Mars, Jennifer Hudson and Jazmine Sullivan.

But the absence of Celine Dion — widely considered one of the greatest vocalists to emerge from Canada — seemed to stir up the most ire.

The 54-year-old Dion, who recently postponed some concerts after being diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder known as stiff person syndrome, has not commented on the controversy.

Your move, Rolling Stone.
